Police has arrested a man for allegedly stabbing and injuring his 27-year-old wife in Kopri area of Maharashtra’s Thane East, an official said on Monday.


The incident took place on Sunday afternoon when accused Dnyaneshwar Malusare (37) had an argument with his wife, the Kopri police station official told newswire PTI.


“He stabbed his wife in the neck with a knife. She is admitted in a nearby hospital. On her complaint, we registered a case against Malusare for attempted murder, criminal intimidation and other offences and arrested him,” the official said.


Meanwhile, the police has arrested a 28-year-old man in connection with a series of chain-snatching incidents in Maharashtra's Palghar district, an official said on Monday.

The accused, Amit Nathu Shanvar, was apprehended last week from Talasari in Dahanu taluka, the official said.

A woman was allegedly robbed of jewellery worth Rs 95,000 on January 25, and following a probe, the police team zeroed in on Shanvar, senior inspector Pramod Badakh said.

The police recovered a motorcycle and stolen jewellery worth Rs 4.38 lakh from the accused, he said.

Shanvar was allegedly involved in chain-snatching incidents in the jurisdiction of Virar, Arnala Sagari, and Nalla Sopara police stations, the official said.

In a separate incident, police has arrested a man from Navi Mumbai for allegedly raping his 15-year-old niece following which she became pregnant, an official said on Monday.

The 34-year-old accused, hailing from Nerul in Navi Mumbai, is the maternal uncle of the girl.

He allegedly raped the girl in his house on October 4, 2023, the official from Nerul police station said.

The girl later complained of some health issues and she was admitted to a hospital in Govandi area of neighbouring Mumbai where it came to light that she was pregnant, he said.

The hospital authorities reported about it to the Nerul police following which the accused was arrested on Sunday and booked under relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, the official said. (Agencies)
